Safety Net Quizzes help NWT residents determine what safety measures they can use to help prevent COVID-19. Further information about safety measures is provided based on quiz results.

Please note, these are not official evaluations and no information provided is deemed advice from the Office of the NWT Chief Public Health Officer.
